Former postal worker accused of having nearly 15,000 pieces of mail in home

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- A former postal worker from Clinton Township is accused of allegedly keeping nearly 15,000 pieces of mail from her postal route, according to the Associated Press. Tiara Vann was named in a federal criminal complaint which was unsealed this week.

Vann worked as a city carrier assistant in the Warren post office, but is no longer employed by the office. She allegedly told investigators that she began keeping the mail starting in September 2018. Authorities received tips about the mail in January from an exterminator and property manager who saw a large amount of mail in Vann’s home.

Vann has been released on bond and is scheduled to be in court again on March 13 for a hearing.
